IPC:
See Interprocess
Communication.
ISO:
See International Standards
Organization.
Link-level address:
A six-
byte quantity that is distinct
from the internet address and
is the unique address of the
LAN interface card on each
LAN.
Message:
In IPC, the data sent
in one UDP packet. When using
sendmail a message is the
information unit transferred
by mail.
Node:
A computer system that
is attached to or is part of a
computer network.
Node manager:
The person
who is responsible for
managing the networking
services on a specific node or
host.
Official host name:
The first
host name in each entry in the /
etc/hosts file. The official host
name cannot be an alias.
Packet:
A data unit that is
transmitted between processes.
Also called a “frame.”
Peer:
An Interprocess
Communication socket at the
other end of a connection.
Port:
An address within a host
that is used to differentiate
between multiple sockets with
the same internet address.
Protocol:
A set of conventions
for transferring information
between computers on a
network (e.g., UDP or TCP).
Remote host:
A computer
that is accessible through the
network or via a gateway.
Reserved port:
A port number
between 1 and 1023 that is only
for super-user use.
Server:
A process or host that
performs operations that local
or remote client hosts request.
Service:
A facility that uses
Interprocess Communication
to perform remote functions for
a user (e.g., rlogin(1) or
telnet(1)).
